Transmission Line - Sound Speed

Okay, with all of the recent talk on the AVS forum about BMRs in Dennis' manufacturer's section, I assumed that's what you were getting [😱]. The Phil3 is definitely a TL of the mass-loaded style and you should be very, very happy with its acquisition. The Phil 1, 2 and 3 were the first TL designs I did for Dennis.

Fortunately, Paul, I know the difference between the BMR and the Phil3. 🙂 Interesting tidbit about the BMR cabinet... Dennis did mention that you helped on that too. Great speakers! Talking to Dennis was a major inspiration in wanting to follow the DIY path. Besides, in 10 years, when I want to upgrade beyond the Phil 3s and BMRs, I likely won't be able to spend 30K to do it! And so here I am.
To all: thank you for your replies. Yet again, it seems I am still missing something important at a very basic level. Back to the beginning again.

I will figure this out!
Best,
R

Hi Paul. Thank you. Yes, that MLTL design is pretty amazing sounding. I auditioned an old set of 3s in a guys home out near the San Jose area. It was a 2-hour drive each way, and 1-1/2 hours listening to music. Everything I threw at those speakers sounded stunning. I emailed Dennis that night after getting back home. 🙂
Regardless, I will go through the King documents from his site, again. Hopefully I can find the piece I'm missing about converting the driver TS Parameters to the actual shape of the line. I'd like to learn about Augspurger's approach, too, but that seems even more steeped in secrecy.
Again, thank you to those who have chimed in on this.
